A man fell through the ice on Lake George on Friday afternoon, but pulled himself out and went to a nearby house, a Warren County sheriff's deputy said.

"He's OK. He's just cold," the deputy said. There was no immediate indication that the man suffered any injuries in the 2:30 p.m. incident off Joshua Rock Road on Dunham Bay, on the east side of the lake.

The mishap happened two days after the New Year's Day Polar Plunge, a Lake George tradition that raises money for charity.
